Iran’s Nuclear Bazaar
China and Russia agree to help build five new reactors.
Sokolski is quoted about how easy it would be to use plutonium from light water reactors to make a weapon.
“Civilian
nuclear power isn’t illegal. Yet such reactors “can be copious
producers of plutonium suitable for nuclear weapons,” notes Henry
Sokolski of the Nonproliferation Policy Education Center. He adds that
building a small clandestine reprocessing plant to extract the plutonium
“is actually easier than putting up a centrifuge plant” such as those
Iran has at Natanz and Fordo.”
